By participating in these tree planting activities, AUCA staff members not only demonstrate their dedication to environmental sustainability but also play a tangible role in enhancing the local ecosystem.

Moreover, AUCA's commitment to supporting employee volunteering extends beyond local initiatives. The office facilitates opportunities for volunteers to participate in international conferences, leveraging their expertise and experiences to contribute to global discussions on environmental sustainability. By providing support and resources for staff members to engage in these conferences, AUCA not only enhances their professional development but also amplifies the impact of their contributions to the broader environmental movement. Through these initiatives, AUCA's employee volunteering program embodies the university's values of civic engagement, social responsibility, and environmental leadership.
